Hi,
I´m
currently using ExportPDF to create a PDF with a TOC in it. The chapter and
subchapters are created dynamically (for the TOC and in the text). I know how
to add page numbers in the footer, but is there a way to add the right page
number to each chapter in the table of content?
Thanks in advance

Hello Florian,
As there is no way to know in advance which pages from the generated document the respective chapters will start on, I am afraid the desired functionality is not available, and cannot be achieved solely via the built-in API and configuration options available.
In theory, you can add some custom logic for breaking the pages at certain points via the forcePageBreak option, and additional logic to calculate how many pages each chapter will take, based on the font size, page size, margins, etc., but there could be hardly a generic or out-of-the-box solution for this functionality, and this is why it is not supported.
